Learn Rabona Fake Turn - Step by Step Tutorial

This is a very nice football skill and not often seen. A pllayer I played with when we were 18 used to do this. He was a very good player who never used "tricks" but strangely this was his only one. He went from non league and signed for a professional club at 18.

The ball in the video is a Mitre Tensile Matchball. If you like the ball and would like to win one for yourself then please visit www.facebook/mitre and go to the tensile competition tab.

Here is how to do the skill

First Thing you need to do is learn or understand how the Rabona works.

You need to pretend we are going to kick the ball like in the Rabona. The next thing is to drag the ball sideways behind your standing leg using the outside or top of your kicking foot.

Mitre Tensile Football

Mitre kindly sent me this ball and it is very nice. Above is a video of the unboxing.

I'm not going to lie. It felt like Christmas and was so excited to open it. It took me back to my childhood from when I got the Mitre Delta football I wanted as a 9 year old.

Unfortunately due to my injury I can't hit the ball as well as I would like to, but the first thing I noticed is it travels faster in the air once it is kicked. I was amazed at how fast it did travel.
Strange as it sounds it is also really round! Some footballs are not perfectly spherical like this ball.

The ball is used by all 72 football clubs in the English football league. That's the championship, League 1 and League 2.
